Yes, Tenebrus but that is my point. If you indeed seek to redeem those
who would be strong why kill them? You slaughter children. Sure, at the
time a child is weak. It cannot defend itself. But who is to say that
that child would not grow up to be strong? You are in essence robbing
yourself. And how do you decide who has potential and who does not? Do
you possess such foresight? I don't. Which is why I show compassion and
benevolence to my enemies. Something that others simply fail to
understand is that all of our actions, both Good and Evil have
repercussions. Perhaps not immediately, but I assure they do. Others
strive to rally people to their cause at the point of a sword. Either
comply or meet your end. Mhaldor for example. You said yourself "those
who stand in the way of the Truths, who oppose their dissemination, must
be destroyed." Do not think that Mhaldor is alone in such thinking.
There are many in Shallam who believe the same. To me, this is an
illogical way of thinking. You do not catch fish by throwing stones into
the lake.

Doesn't eradicating weakness involve eradicating the weak? If not then
WHY do you do it?

You are right though. I expected that dissent would come from Mhaldor
but it seems that so many who seek Good simply seek to fight with
someone. It does not matter who it is. I find that more embarrassing
than selling herbs to a Mhaldorian newbie.

Oh, and Riashain...the fact that you, who cannot even decide WHAT you
believe or WHO you are loyal to would even open your mouth to speak is
ridiculously laughable. When you find two legs to stand on, then perhaps
we'll talk.
